Americas Contrast Roof: Aftermarket ‘wrap’?

[Ovrland Bill]

Does anyone know the approximate cost of using a ‘wrap’ to create a “Contrast Roof”? (Factory price for paint is 1,200 USD.)

Dont know about the US, everything seems cheaper there. But here to go to a quality wrap place it probably wouldn’t be too much different in price as they will have to do it custom and won’t have templates for it, particularly if you have Safari windows.

pretty sure the cost of a wrapped roof is similar to what ineos charging to paint it. but ymmv with different materials

I have heard from a reputable custom vehicle business that a wrap is very subject to the environment and may not last as long as expected. I looked into one here in North Texas last year and the estimated life was two years.

Yeah I had a clear wrap on the nose of my BMW in Houston. It lasted about that before it looked so gross it had to come off. Up here in Seattle I only have the door cup and edges protected and it's going strong after 6+ years.

Was just quoted $1300USD for a black roof by a small, generally affordable paint shop.

The $1200-1800 quotes seem pretty accurate from all over. Same thing here in New York. It’ll come down a small amount once a templated pattern is available. Wraps are one of those things that you get what pay for. Paint would be the better investment long term

I was going wrap my roof myself, doing the reverse of what we saw on prototype IG. The Swiss cross would be MM while the pockets would be a blue black same with rear door. After research and further thought, I'm going to get the factory black roof. The whole car might get wrapped but every wrapper I have watched on YouTube has stated the hardest car to wrap is the G Wagon. I would suspect IG will be put in that category.
